Ventilation screen?

lemos · 03-13-2024, 05:00 AM

It looks like some G30s have some sort of digital panel to configure the ventilation, heated sits, etc...

what's the difference between these two systems?

Difficult to say as the images are blurred. Can you provide better pictures?

Might be the difference between the pre LCI and LCI or 2 zone and 4 zone control potentially.
As I say difficult to be sure from these inages

If you have dual zone climate control you get the buttons, if you have the quad zone you get the display

Yes recognise these now
The first looks like the 2 zone system I had in my pre LCI and the second is the one from the 4 zone climate control where this is touch screen
So the co from for heated seats and ventilated if you have them will be there. I think ambient frangence is also controlled and displayed there if you have that fitted

If your car has dual zone you can retrofit the all-LCD, touchscreen 4-zone module, no coding needed. It adds no features other than having another screen and less buttons.

The touchscreen version has a known issue with the LCD developing vertical lines over time. I personally hate having to take my eyes off the road to adjust basic things so I like my "base" HVAC module better, with actual buttons.
